So again I find myself voluntering at the Austin Rodeo.
Driving up to the employee parking, smelling the fried food in the air, the sounds of the carnival campusing the area reminded me what I love about the fair and rodeo. The opportunity to realize how normal you really are.
If you get a chance to visit the rodeo in the next two weeks here's a few things to remember:
* Almost any food can be found on a stick, as this is the easiest way to deep fry something including veggies.
* Have some cotton candy, it will make you feel young again. Snow cones work for that too.
* Don't sit in the front row during the rodeo, dirt and or cow patties find their way into the stands almost every night.
* Don't miss out on the free outdoor concerts, great acts this year include, Randy Rogers Band, Eli Young Band, Stoney LaRue, Aaron Watson, and the Mike Mancy Band.
* There are wierd people all over the fairgrounds not just at the "freak show exhibit"
* Visit the livestock arena or attend a livestock show these kids are tomorrow's future.
* Wait to eat until after you get off the swirly ride, your friends will thank you.
* Don't forget your wallet, while you'll get lots of free stuff and have a good time, parking's $5 and food starts at about the same.
Have fun and enjoy some good times, go with a good friend, you may even run into someone you know, or someone you haven't seen in years!
